Owners Search for Dog Stolen at Gunpoint

A family is worried their dog that was stolen at gunpoint is not taking its necessary medications. NBC 6's Gilma Avalos reports. (Published Wednesday, Jul 30, 2014)

Owner Damica Clark said she was working a double-shift that day and her brother, Darren Clark, offered to dog-sit the terrier. Darren Clark said he took the dog for a walk and on his way back home from Young Circle, he said he was approached by a man near a grocery store on Washington Street.

He said the man tried to sell him items he had on him, but Darren Clark tried walking away. That's when he says the man pressed the barrel of a gun against his rib cage.

When the suspect asked him to empty his pockets, he gave him his cellphone, police said. The suspect then snatched the dog leash and took the dog away. He fled in a dark colored SUV with hazed headlights, according to police.
